510=
810=
45Fraction of the pupils that liked rabbits

55 -
45=
15(b)
Difference between the fraction of the pupils that like tortoises and fraction of the pupils that like rabbits
=
310 -
15=
310 -
210=
110Total number of pupils = 10 u
Number of pupils that like tortoises more than rabbits = 1 u
1 u = 6
Total number of pupils
= 10 u
= 10 x 6
= 60
Answer(s): (a)
